With Luanniao, China is promoting a giant space aircraft carrier as a new superweapon. Is it a vision for war in space — or science fiction?

Computer simulations carried out by astronomers from the University of Groningen in collaboration with researchers from ...

How can quantum field theories be best formulated on a lattice to optimally simulate them on a computer? The answer comes ...

The idea that reality might be a kind of cosmic software has shifted from late-night dorm debate to a live question in ...

Quantum computing promises a new generation of computers capable of solving problems hundreds of millions of times more quickly than today’s fastest supercomputers. This is done by harnessing spooky ...

To simulate the behavior of physical systems more accurately than ever, Kobe University YAGUCHI Takaharu and his team have developed an approach that can learn physically accurate computation methods ...

The Week 13 college football schedule coincides with that annual late-season SEC slate where many of the teams face Group of Five opponents. While 14 SEC teams are in action, just four games you can ...

One of the most influential science studies of all time started with a modest minicomputer, some simulated boxes of water molecules, and a grand vision for computer-aided chemistry. The year was 1982.

The idea that we’re living inside a simulation, as popularized by “The Matrix” franchise, has piqued the interest of scientists for decades. In 2003, philosopher Nick Bostrom proposed in a highly ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Despite how it may feel some days, we probably aren’t stuck in a ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Researchers say it's impossible to use algorithmic computation to generate everything in our universe. The possibility that our ...

Researchers have mathematically proven that the universe cannot be a computer simulation. Reality, they argue, is rooted in a “non-algorithmic understanding” that no algorithm could ever replicate.
